Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

"Doing your best to win the game is every professional player's duty; it's not hard work," Zhou Hanyang shook his head slightly.

Abu was slightly taken aback. He had seen many professional players, and they were all full of passion and enthusiasm when they first stepped onto the field.

However, most of them will gradually fade away.

However, Zhou Hanyang's words lacked any passion or enthusiasm; instead, he described his efforts to win the competition as simply his duty.

This really took Abu quite a bit of a surprise.

I hope you can always maintain this mindset.

Abu inwardly praised Zhou Hanyang, but he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he changed the subject: "What are your thoughts on the next match?"

Upon hearing Abu's question, everyone's attention turned to him.

“They will definitely target our Ueno.” Zhou Hanyang pondered for a moment and said slowly, “However, due to the lack of ban slots, they will most likely give Ivern a ban slot.”

"Oh? Why not skateboard shoes?" Abu suddenly became interested.

"Because even if they ban Kalista, there's still Lucian, Vayne... these AD top laners," Zhou Hanyang said seriously.

"puff……"

"6!"

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyang's words, everyone in the lounge wore strange expressions.

They originally thought Zhou Hanyang was only particularly skilled with skateboard shoes, but they didn't expect that he could also pick other top lane AD carries besides skateboard shoes.

Dude, why are you deliberately targeting the top lane AD carry?

"Does Aion have any alternatives?" Abu turned to look at Mingkai.

"I also have Nidalee." Mingkai's face was full of confidence.

However, everyone else had strange, fascinating expressions, their heads full of question marks.

Not buddy.

Isn't Nidalee a jungle carry who dominates the early game in the jungle?

Are you trying to turn Nidalee into a Zola the Leopard?

Abu's face was dark as he glared fiercely at Mingkai.

Something without the spirit of the leopard girl.

"If the other team bans Kalista, then we'll pick Ivern." With little time left in the break, Zhou Hanyang stopped joking and got back to the main point:

"Although we picked Ivern, we don't necessarily have to build a top lane AD carry. As long as I have a counter pick, I can beat Letme with anything!"

"Should we keep picking Ivern? That would make him too weak in the jungle matchups." Abu couldn't help but frown.

"Furthermore, if the jungler picks Ivern, the bot lane still needs to pick a hard support. If the enemy picks a soft support, our bot lane still won't be able to gain lane priority."

In the professional League of Legends arena, aside from certain specific version restrictions.

In most versions, the most reasonable team composition is to have one positive and one negative front-line tank, while also having one positive and one negative initiator.

Then you also need to have two Cs, one AP and one AD, both output types!

The principle of dual initiation is easy to understand: when there is only one initiator in the team, the opponent only needs to focus on that one initiator.

Historically, why did EDG lose to SKT despite having a 10,000 gold deficit in the World Championship?

There are many factors involved, and in EDG's lineup, the fact that only one initiator, Rek'Sai, accounts for a large part of the overall strategy.

Rumble in the top lane and Janna as support are unable to initiate team fights.

The only excavator that can initiate a team fight is actually a pseudo-team fight.

Once the excavator's location is found, the opposing team won't have to worry about being hit by it, and they can also find an opportunity to initiate a team fight.

The last wave of attacks was when Mingkai's excavator peeked out and cleared the wards, giving SKT an opportunity.

While Mingkai made a mistake, Meiko also failed to capitalize on Janna's counter to Rakan.

The failure to prevent Rakan from entering the fray led to SKT executing a perfect team fight.

The same applies to two front rows!

In 5v5 team battles, they can help their team find better positions from different directions.

When your team squeezes into a better position, the enemy's position will be squeezed, making it easy to initiate a team fight.

Moreover, even if one of the two front-line units gets caught by the opponent, the other can easily counter-attack, creating a counter-attack situation.

That's why Abu said that even when picking Ivern, you should still pick a tank support for the bot lane.

Ivern's role is similar to a support, so if the support position doesn't have a frontliner and engage, are you expecting the top laner to pick the three god-tier champions like Nautilus, Maokai, and Poppy to engage?

"It's okay, we can still pick Tristana in the bot lane with a tanky support. Ivern will focus on protecting the mid and bot lanes this game," Zhou Hanyang said with a smile.

"So, what about you going on the road? To bear the pressure?" Abu frowned even more deeply.

"Even if I carried Sejuani's pig on my shoulder, I could still kill a top laner like Letme as easily as killing a pig." Zhou Hanyang's face was full of confident smiles.

“You little brat, you’re implying your ‘that’…” Ming Kai immediately gave Zhou Hanyang a death stare.

"Are you sure you want to take the pressure?" Abu raised an eyebrow.

"Who said I was going to take the pressure? Didn't I say that as long as I have a counter pick, I'll single-handedly crush their top and jungle?" Zhou Hanyang asked with some surprise.

"OK!" Abu nodded emphatically: "What if the other side bans Ivern? Should we still pick Kalista?"

"Take it, why wouldn't I?" Zhou Hanyang said matter-of-factly.

"Are you really going to choose Nidalee?" Abu looked at Mingkai.

“No need to pick Nidalee.” Zhou Hanyang shook his head slightly and said, “Kalista is indeed a very strong champion in lane, but what really transforms her is the Ardent Censer item.”

With the Ardent Censer buff, Kalista's true power spike comes after she has two core items; when the support has Ardent Censer, no AD carry can stand a chance against her.

The Ardent Censer in Season 7 not only increases the attack speed and lifesteal of ADCs, but also increases their movement speed.

If we were to say that Ardent Censer provides an boost to other ADCs, it could be simply understood as giving them an extra Blade of the Ruined King.

All those bonuses from skateboarding shoes are equivalent to the effect of a Blade of the Ruined King combined with attack speed boots.

This is also the fundamental reason why Kalista and Ivern were able to win the Baron fight in the previous game, even in a 2v5 situation.

At that time, the game had only lasted for a little over 20 minutes, and none of the RNG players had two items.

But the skateboard shoes are a two-piece set plus an incense burner, which is equivalent to a three-piece skateboard shoe set to fight them.

While there are some maneuvers involved, the essence is actually a numerical crushing victory.

"Not Nidalee? Pick Kalista?" Abu, with his extensive coaching experience, instantly understood the meaning behind Zhou Hanyang's words:

"You mean you're going to pick it for the bot lane? Build Kalista and a support right away? Try to trick them during the draft?"

It's so easy to talk to someone who understands. Zhou Hanyang's smile widened: "That's right! With skateboard shoes and Lulu, they're bound to fall for it."

The champion Kalista, except for the Ardent Censer patch in Season 7.

All other versions involve pairing with a tanky support in the bottom lane.

This is an ADC that needs to secure kills in lane, not one that relies on dominating the lane.

The main role of support in the bottom lane is to poke and harass.

If you pick a support champion, Kalista definitely won't go to the bot lane.

"What about Nakano? How should we proceed?" Abu raised his eyebrows.

If the bot lane picks a support, the top lane can't be relied on at all, so the mid and jungle must complete the team composition.

"How about an excavator and a seductress?" Zhou Hanyang suggested.

"LeBlanc and Rek'Sai?" Abu couldn't help but be stunned: "All-in on the early to mid-game? If they can't establish momentum in the early game, then they're completely doomed?"

“We’ll definitely be able to establish a rhythm.” Zhou Hanyang looked at Scout: “Junior, I have a secret technique for countering Galio with LeBlanc using the Longsword and Fervor of Battle. Would you like to learn it?”

Everyone was stunned again upon hearing Zhou Hanyang's words.
